The Captain America You Won't See in Theaters

That other movie based on Marvel's star-spangled man with a plan is hitting DVD later than we thought .

The 1990s movie starring Captain American was initially supposed to have its re-release in July, around the same time as the new blockbuster film starring Chris Evans as The First Avenger. But that didn't happen. So now we have an updated release date of August 23, and new box art to go with it. Makes you wonder if the two aren't somehow connected.

Anyway, the film stars Matt Salinger in the familiar story of an American soldier in World War II who volunteers to be injected with a super-soldier serum and becomes Captain America. Meanwhile, the Nazi's have a super-soldier program of their own, resulting in the hideous Red Skull. Cap is defeated and left for dead, but wakes up again 50 years later to find that the Red Skull is now targeting the President of the United States.

Here's a look at the new and improved box art.

Stay tuned to IGN DVD for more information about this and other upcoming releases!
